I’ve become a bit of a fan of memory foam.

I have a hard time coming up with thinking of any technology past the year 2000 that has improved my life in any way. I have my doubts.

I think that's fairly old but maybe there's some new advancements.

Probably still less than 2000 years old, though.

Torrents are pretty nice. I also enjoy the newer lines of flat-screens, particularly when I want to move a monitor without throwing out my back.

You would sure be hard-pressed to think of any good thing involving Mark Zuckerberg, alright.

SD cards?
Huge USB thumb drives?

Huge USB thumb drive

Just seeing that is making my life better. :)

I mean they're convenient but not exactly life changing. 20 years ago you were reading about these batteries that last forever or that dental decay was a thing of the past and it seems like we have made little progress, or progress was made and then rescinded for profit.

mRNA vaccine technology that made the two most effective COVID vaccines saving millions of lives was pretty great.

Also radically improved my cell phone reception.

It’s nice to always have a flashlight on your person.
Blue LEDs are recent and pretty cool.

I fucking hate blue leds. They cause migraines, and even when not - irritate the hell out of my eyes.

Everone hates those but the same technology can be used with phospors to make LED area lighting/tv backlights etc.

Play games in VR everyday is really good if you want an easy excuse to exercise and move your body more.

I get plenty of that at work but I suppose most people don't. I feel like the Nintendo Wii got more people moving than VR though.
